Tag: botox

side 1: before I began skincare side 2: after 6 months with Alix. No filter on either. My first pic was after my first botox and she froze me so much the bottom of my face crinkled. Side 2 is after 1 year using Brooke at Dr. Rottler. I use less botox each time, because I see Alix.

Muscle is the fountain of youth! If you follow my blog, then you know I believe it, I live it. Now skincare.. don’t backburner that!

I was a tanning bed girl for decades but I stopped that!
My skin was beginning to sag as it was losing elasticity!
When I started competing, I wanted to bring my best package
so I began to focus more on my skin.

Facials, PeelsMy very dear friend and client Alix Mancuso is my esthetician.
We started working together a year ago to revitalize my skin.
We do peels and collagen treatments. I am noticing that the damaged skin is coming to the surface and my skin looks better with each peel! Soon it will be clear from all the sun damage. I do my peels with no down time!

Anti-Gravity Face Lift
Alix also started me on microcurrent face lifts. I do this with her
once a month.
Microcurrent anti gravity lifts are amazing. They retrain the muscles in your face. I have noticed great results from doing them.
They are NON-invasisve! YES! You look tighter instantly. Results are cumulative!

I have an in home version of the Nu-face as well which I do for 5 minutes a day. This is the one I’m using at home. I wish mine was PINK! You can click to see more about it.

Alix is local to St. Louis and works at the Four Seasons Spa.
You can book her there! I hope you do. She is amazing, caring and one of the best people I know. Book here

Skincare:
I was a department store skin care girl for my whole life. I switch brands, buy bits and pieces here and there and it was “ok”. When I started with Alix, she set me straight. She was able to see that I was using the exact wrong types of products and we changed courses. That made all the difference. This was shocking because I thought I knew my skin. I was also piling on so many products! A skin care professional can look at your skin and give you the correct recommendations! It matters! I had no idea! Just like you need a good trainer/coach a skin care professional will change your life.

Good ProductsI am loving the products I’m now using. Babor. These are available inAlix’s spa They are beyond fantastic. The best anti-aging treatments!
The cleanser I was using was drying me out. My exfoliant was TOO rough for my skin and I used it too often! I probably damaged my skin by over use. For cleansing I use Babor Hy-oil
and my skin never feels dry or tight. I use the HSR lifting products
and the Mimical cream is fantastic post botox. It helps my botox last longer.

Babor HSR line is my holy grail!

Botox: Yes.. I botox. I have done botox for 4 years. I am using
Aurora Med Spa and my girl is Chelsea Becker! She is at the West Country location.

Aurora has a skin care club too for discounts. I’ve sent lots of people to them. They are very nice and Chelsea took a full hour for my consult!!

If you use my name at Aurora you can get a
$10 off your botox or $20 off microderm.

Sugar, etc. I find my skin looks worse when I eat lots sugar. I mean sugar like, candy cookies, etc. I am IIFYM but I do try to keep my sugary treats to a minimum. I’m sure not everyone notices changes in their skin with sugar, but it makes a difference for me.

I drink over a gallon of water daily too. I notice a huge difference when I drink less!

I also take amazing vitamins, including biotin for my hair skin and nails.
